Very unique and has various extra Somali authentic food selections that’s not available at other restaurants, I.e. : chicken Stew, Maharagu curry; Spinach Amanda, Fufu, Fish curry and other food selections that I haven’t see or eaten in any other Somali restaurant .Affordable, authentic Somali food. I’ve been to many Somali restaurants in the U.S.A., they all have the same menu. Best of all, very affordable and tasty!

The food is so delicious. My first time trying Somalian food and it blew me away. We had the goat and rice, sambusa, soup, chicken stew, chapattis. Man the meal tasted like home food. The meat just fell apart, yum. You have to try this food. I am definitely coming back. They are such warm people too. Must visit!!!!

I stopped by this place to check if they had tomatoes. And what a pleasant surprise! They have a little restaurant all the way in the back with African food. I order some sambusas to go and while I was waiting the gentlemen offer me their barley soup and potatoes filled with boiled egg! They were delicious!!!! Very new ce people and excellent food! I ended up ordering more of the barley soup and the potatoes to go. Will definitely stop by another time to try their other dishes....
